For Immediate Release
Yerma, an unusual and beautiful modern tragedy by Spanish playwright Garcia
Lorca, is the Carleton College Players' fourth offering of the season to be
presented on weekends during the month of May in Nourse Little Theatre on the
campus.
One of Lorca's best so-called "peasant tragedies," Yerma is the story of a
young married woman's yearning for a child who is never to be born, Lorca's
characters are Spanish shepherds; his poetry is the art of making plain words
beautiful; his images are taken from the sunbaked country-side of Spain; and
his use of music and dancing enable the actors to express more than can be said
with words alone. Music for the production was specially composed by Dr. Gary
Iseminger, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Carleton.
The play is directed by Tomas MacAnna, visiting professor of drama at
Carleton who came to the College from the Abbey Theater in Dublin, Ireland,
where he is a director, designer and playwright.
Performances of Yerma are scheduled for May 16 and 24 at 8:00 p.m., and
May 18 at 5:00 p.m. There is no charge for the performances and tickets may be
obtained by writing: Carleton College Players, Carleton College, Northfield,
Minnesota, 55057.
